CONFERENCE OBJECTIVES
Current and future generation computer systems are aggressively pursuing
parallelism for increased performance. As the field matures, the gulf
between hardware and software performance grows larger. The purpose of
this
working conference, the sixth in the series, is to provide an open forum
for the parallel architecture and compiler research communities to debate
key issues of common interest and to discuss how the two communities might
work together to more efficiently exploit the performance of parallel
systems.

At this year's meeting, there will be a number of technical sessions,
keynote speeches, and tutorials that address these matters. We invite
researchers and practitioners with interests in both conventional and
non-conventional approaches (MPP, SMP, clustered-SMP, data-flow,
multi-threading, and optical) to participate in the following program:
